One New Notification!

[airlockedmods]

[About a day after Cece's message arrives, another small blip! cuts its way through whatever conversations the Airlocked! survivors might be having. But it isn't happening in the space limo this time - it's on the Temerity proper. Some of you are more acquainted with the computer system here, so you should know what that sound means.

You have new Spitter messages!]

[serrata]

Oh, of course, I see now. How could I miss the resemblance?

That would make him an Ichimichi too, of course... but what about given names for both of you? Maybe we should try keeping a theme to make it easier to remember...

[scourgingstars]

Please don't give me another surname.

[serrata]

But it's going to completely give the game away if you're still 'Tenmyouji'!

[scourgingstars]

Yuuri, I have lived in hiding for two thousand years, do you actually think 'Ardyn Izunia' was the only name I ever went by? I can use another one, I doubt anyone's going to be fooled by our utter lack of family resemblance.

[serrata]

... Hm, yes. I suppose you've got a point.

[ Her and Arianna are probably going to be a hard enough sell but factor in Ardyn and the whole thing starts to stink just a bit too much. ]

It's going to look a bit strange if me and "Konno-san" both keep calling you "Dad" but... we'll work something out.

[scourgingstars]

You'll just have to learn to be subtle for once. I know it's near impossible for you both.

[serrata]

[ Yuuri opens her mouth as if to protest that

Thinks on it for a second.

Then closes it again and smiles sheepishly.

Called the fuck out. ]

[daughterofthemark]

A theme that would fit "Kotori"...

[...

...Arianna knows nothing whatsoever about Japanese names!]

[scourgingstars]

Try something that just sounds similar. Alliterative, perhaps.

[serrata]

... well, Kotori means "little bird". So how about... hm, "Kobato"? It means "little dove".

[daughterofthemark]

Kobato... Kobato!

[serrata]

Well then, it's very nice to meet you, Ichimichi Kobato-chan.

[daughterofthemark]

And you as well, Ichimichi Kotori...san? Is that correct?

[serrata]

That's right. Oh, but if we're sisters you wouldn't really call me '-san'... maybe 'Kotori-nee', or--

[ "Rii-nee-san."

"Rii-nee."

Yuuri visibly falters for a second. Then she quickly shakes her head and forces a smile. ]

... or... maybe just "Kotori" is fine.

[daughterofthemark]

...Rii-san.

[DID YOU THINK YOU COULD GET AWAY WITHOUT ARIANNA NOTICING? SHE HAS LIKE SEVEN POINTS IN HER TAKE SKILL SHE'S SUPER OBSERVANT]

[serrata]

[ Another shake of the head. ]

I'm fine!
